It's a title, not a name. It's the feminine of Margrave, which is a German title of nobility.http://www.answers.com/margravine

It looks enough like a name that it could be used as one anyway, I suppose. I believe that Lady and Regina are common enough, as are Rex and Basil. This is the German equivalent to a British marchioness or a continental marquise.
